Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space Revision History
(c) 1993 Strategic Visions, Inc.
----------------------------------------------
v1.00a
=============
∙ On one News Event the screen faded to black and remained that way. This
has been corrected. (#52)
∙ For convenience a Page-Up and Page-Down feature has been added to the
Time Capsule for easier movement among the list of savegames.
∙ Added an Undo option to the Hardware Purchasing Screen. This will set
your hardware to the same state it was in immediately before entering
this location. The keyboard command for this feature is the 'Z' key.
v1.00b
=============
∙ Added code to allow for a minimized version of the game. By deleting
the files SVISION.ABZ and SOUND.CAT the game can be reduced in size.
BARIS will now run without the multimedia missions and sound after these
files have been deleted. This drops the overall size of the game to
around 6 Mb. Once you delete these files you will need to reinstall
BARIS to restore the multimedia missions.
∙ Corrected problem with another News Event (#89). This caused another
fade to black situation.
v1.01 (pending release)
=============
Blue and Red text screen showing the version number is the first thing
that shows when the game is run.
∙ Finally full Gravis Ultrasound Support with the addition of newly
written drivers from Gravis and Forte. Currently the proper drivers
are not included with this release, but when they are simply copy the
GF1MIDI.ADV and GF1DIGI.ADV into the GAMEDAT directory and then run
the SETUP program. Select the Gravis Ultrasound for both the Music
and Sound devices. SBOS cannot be loaded and the program ULTRAMID must
be run. Use the -c option on ULTRAMID to speed up game play.
Gravis/Forte have allowed us to include the v1.0 of the ULTRAMID files
so that you can get up and running. Please read the documentation
provided with these files.
Once again you are required to run ULTRAMID before the GUS drivers will
work.
∙ Gameplay has been modified for Level One. This effects any mission where
there is a Catastrophic Failure (kill people on a mission step). The
safety factor of that program will no longer be dropped to it's initial
level, instead the safety factor will be reduced by 50%. Also the
die rolling system was revised to be easier on this level. None of
these changes effect the game play on either Level 2 or Level 3. This
change does not effect the computer opponent.
∙ Updated the Help file to indicate the keyboard command for the Undo on
the Hardware Purchasing screen.
∙ Duration penalties were calculated double for each step. Oops, well it's
fixed now and would contribute to more mission successes.
∙ Fixed some things with the mission records recording inaccurate values
for various records.
∙ Here is the Technology Transfer chart that was left out of the game.
